Scraptastic Club April Kits: My Lovely Tomboy

The new Scraptastic kits are live and this month I'm working with the lovely 'I Lived' kit and add-on, a change from my typical chosen 'girly' kits. I fell in love with the bright colors and the amazing red acrylic 'happy' word.

For my first layout using the kits, I was feeling a bit rusty after not scrapping for a week with my family here in town, so I started with a vertical grid and a recent favorite photo of Lizzy from Easter weekend.

In addition to the kits, I also used the fantastic 'I Lived' and 'Sentiment Series V.7' stamp sets, as well as my favorite alpha stamp set from Scraptastic yet, the 'Darlene' stamp set.

The alpha stamps paired so well with the 'lovely' word from the Snap bits and pieces included in the main kit.

To include the circular words around my flowers, I stamped the flower and leaf first, then stamped an additional leaf to use as a mask on my first stamped image, which covered up the image so that I could stamp the circular phrase.
